Salvation—The term applied to the rescue, recovery, and restorative work of the Lord Jesus in retrieving us from sin and death. In Exodus 14:13, the word for salvation is the Hebrew Yeshuwah. Yeshua is what is meant. Another word is mosha and it concentrates on the saving acts of salvation that end in deliverance. This term comes from the word yasha. In this instance it means to be saved in battle where bondage is averted by the victorious acts of a savior. The battle waged contains troubles resulting from literal, figurative, or moral danger, and their respective consequences. Yesha, yet another salvation word, adds the dimension of rescue to what is saved. It refers to victory, prosperity, deliverance, and welfare. A helping hand that aids one in distress or bondage are included in its meanings. New Testament meanings of the word for salvation center on the Greek term soteria. It adds preservation from enemies, from molestation from common and uncommon agents, and deliverance from spiritual and natural forces. In these contexts the Son of God enters and bodily encompasses the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The hardest thing for unbelievers to grasp about the idea of salvation is that the deliverance is from mortality and spiritual bondage. The beginning of the answer is found in Ephesians 2:1. It talks about being dead in trespasses and sins that inspire moral offenses one cannot help but commit, due to being spiritually dead in Adam. The truth is based on the wording of 1 Corinthians 15:22, which says that in Adam all die and are only made alive in Christ. What is difficult to fathom is how one can be dead and still alive. For this reason people resist salvation, seeing it as an alternative religious decision rather than what it is, not just the death of the body, but the reason why the body dies, since the words of the Creator say that it is the Spirit who gives life and the flesh profits nothing. See John 6:63. In support of this is James 2:26, which flatly states that the body without the Spirit is dead. The human body lives because of the spirit within it. Job 32:8 declares that the spirit in man thrives on the information of the Almighty. In the garden of Eden, the Lord reveals the tripartite makeup of human beings. On the sixth day He created the human spirit. 1277. Samaria—The word means “watchtower” and is the name for the second of the two idolatrous worship centers established by King Jeroboam. 1278.
